Aumi—It has been identified by Cunningham with the river Anomâ (Anamala) in the district of Gorakhpur, which was crossed by Buddha, after he left his father’s palace, at a place now called Chandâoli on the eastern bank of the river, whence Chhandaka returned with Buddha’s horse Kaṇṭhaka to Kapilavastu. But Führer identifies the river Anomâ with the Kuḍâwâ Nadî in the Basti district in Oudh.
